Replica of a bronze sword

Well, doesn't look like any european bronze sword that I've ever seen, but I haven't seen many. At least one of the figures looks vaguely meso-american in style, which suggests to me that it is possibly a recent hotch-potch (don't think the metalworking of that culture went much beyond noble metals and maybe a bit of native copper). Of course, I could be way off. Just an uneducated opinion.

Yup, the blade is a rough immitation of a Warring States period Chinese sword, with some fantasy decoration on it. Tons of such immitations are being sold on ebay.
